K9 Money Tour
Tonights Money Tour game was at Live Poker, it`s a site I enjoy playing at but that has one major flaw in that the blinds rise far too quickly IMO. In actual fact the levels are pretty long, it`s just that the individual hands take a while to get through.
Anyway, enough of the site review, and onto the game. The tournament started with 27 players, I started off well enough, hit a few hands and was able to pretty much double up. Then came the inevitable run of poor cards.
The final table came up pretty quickly though and my stack put me in the middle of the field. No cards for a while and I watched my stack dwindle to around 2k before catching Ad Qd on the button. With the blinds at 500/1000 I pushed all in and had 1 caller. The cards were flipped and my opponent Vypremik revealed KK. On this occasion though the poker gods chose to smile on me putting an ace on the board and taking me up to 4k or so chips.
The very next hand I have KQos and raise the minimum again getting one caller, the flop brings no help but my opponent checks. I push all-in and he folds bringing me up to around 8k.
The blinds come and go and with five players left I receive Ac Jc UTG, I decide to push and hopefully take the blinds but Vypremik again called turning over pocket jacks. This time the board brought me no salvation and I was out in 5th place.
All in all though a decent performance. I could perhaps have milked a few more chips early on but I don`t feel I made any particularly bad plays throughout the game. Perhaps the all-in was a dubious play at the end but with the blinds as high as they were any decent raise would have seen me pot-committed anyway, so no regrets there.
Anyway congratulations to Vypremik on winning and claiming both the bounties in the tourney, and well done to Philman and MurryTheCat for their 2nd and 3rd places respectively.
